Fragility Poem by Matthew English

Fragility

Rating: 5.0


Fragility is;
the smash of a glass,
a fallen vase,
the collision of two cars,
erosion of an elders mind,
the effect of water on stone,
the toil of the strings of a guitar.
No.
It’s the death of the ones you love
and the effect on the ones you hold close,
exposure to the truth of life.
The knowledge that life is in the hands of no man
or divine force.
The knowledge that death can come as easily
to those who are frail and
those who are strong.
There is no filter for death
His pick is more brutal than any war
that any man can script.
This is because
Death is unscripted;
And it can claim any soul that is in fact alive.
